References adiposity in childhood. As the consumption of industrialized foods contributes to excess weight and body fat, this is an important step in assessing dietary patterns, since diet is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. These findings are consistent with other studies, suggesting that the consumption of industrialized foods is increasing, and these are already associated with cardiometabolic alterations in the early stages of life, such as in childhood. Conclusion It was concluded that the prevalence of excess weight and body adiposity were higher in children with greater adherence to the industrialized DP. The lower consumption of the traditional DP was associated with excess body adiposity. Our study suggests that early assessments of eating habits should be undertaken for monitoring andmodifying these habits, when necessary. Parents and health professionals need to be aware of the high consumption of processed and ultra-processed products by children. Food and nutritional educational actions become of the utmost importance in schools as a way to reinforce the healthy diet of children and their parents.
